General Mach Discussion / Bunch of circles in my preview window?

« on: December 25, 2013, 06:53:28 PM »

Not sure what to call it but if you look at the attached image it is the pink lines in the window.
Run it thru the Discriminator CNC Editor it runs good(to me  since I am still learning)

I think I might have something set wrong in Mach3.
Anyone have any ideas on what is causing the pink areas?

General Mach Discussion / HELP zero machine coordinates

« on: November 30, 2013, 07:15:17 PM »

i am setting up my Mini mill using a g540 drive.
i disconnected my homing switches. how do I get machine coordinates zero to reset?
I searched read all day before posting this and i cannot figure it out.

I have my table set where I want it to be x0 y0 z0 but when i ref all home it goes past my switch trying to get to home,machine coordinates are not zeroed
.(standing at front of mill, table all the way to the right, all the way towards the front/operator, head all the way to top, if that is not correct please let me know also.)

Also do  you use metric or inches when putting in the distances in the homing screen?
